[3.7] Ahfack's Crimson Cyclone | Shaper FULL Life Kill Vid | 100% Pure Phys | All Content | PoBs

Ahfack,

I know feedback is helpful and encouraging, Betrayal was my first league ever (and first time I actually bothered playing the game more than 2 hours) and I made it to 36/40 and had an absolute blast. We appreciate your effort!

hope You can update just a tree for league start :)

i wonder about passiv skill tree and do u pick dualist again so we can start with league and save points till u gonna update some. Ty for your time and your work ! See You Soon

is there a dual wield version of this?

If you get time to do a dual wield skill tree i would also be very interested in this.
Really looking forward to playing this build or something similar. I was planning on going dual wield bloodseeker, do you think that will be end game viable?

Hey guys, long time no see! I will definitely be updating the build guide for 3.7. It will most likely be getting a complete revamp due to how many things are changing. I'm really looking forward to this!

However, do be aware that this will not be a quick process. It will not be completed day 1 or even early league. As I'm sure you can imagine, a lot goes into making such a detailed guide.

For the sake of absolute transparency and maybe even some of you can relate, I have less free time than ever before. My personal/family life is busier than ever. I bought my first house, I've taken on new engineering responsibilities at work which require me to be at the office more (I previously had the amazing luxury of working from home most of the time - so that's a big change - but worth it), and my kid starts kindergarten soon and is enrolled in all sorts of summer activities. I'm extremely involved with family, especially after my dad passing. Simply put, IRL is in full effect.

What I'm going to try to knock out first are the basics: tree, gear, and leveling progression.

I'm very confident in this being a league starter again, but I won't be able to start the league on day 1 like most of you. I will be looking to you guys for your leveling notes that might differ from the original setup. Obviously as soon as I get some time I'll get my old PoB stuff backed up, and I'll work on leveling trees, gem setups, and so on.

Please do know that I appreciate all the kind words and incredible support I've gotten for this build. I woke up this morning to double digit new messages in my forum inbox about this build - which never happens! Hahaha. Just please be patient :)

SPIN2WINNNNNN

If you could just get the tree out by day 1 that would be enough for many of us. Leveling hasn't really changed going from act 1-10. Appreciate the update and we will all be patiently waiting.

plz update the tree, it will really help , i keep getting more and more confused on pob -_-

Edit: redacted.

Ahfack posted some trees.

From a working father to a working father ... I can totally relate. Good news is, given the little free time I have, your guide will probably be finished and polished before I get to endgame gear :-) Keep up the great work and thank you very much!

Thanks for all the kind words guys! <3

Okay, it's going to be hard to actually see what's 100% best without all the gem info and detail, but I'll be putting out a preliminary tree of what I think the level 100 will look like very soon. From there, it will be easier for me to step down to a leveling tree. I think it's almost done. *For Now*

Some new thoughts/notes from the recent patch notes, to clue you into what I'm thinking about while I weigh the options for tree pathing:

-We'll now always be using fortify support gem in our cyclone, as it now supplies a new MORE multiplier and gives us unmatched eHP boost/dmg mitigation. This also makes 7l Fortify Elder Axes as a potential BiS endgame item, as a free ~35% MORE multiplier should beat out pretty much any other option.

-The new aura PRIDE will most likely take the place of our secondary curse. Depending on if you want to go for tankier or more damage, running either blasphemy/vuln or enfeeble (or vuln on hit enf on hit gloves) combined with PRIDE will be the new way to utilize our mana reservation as dmg/dmg mitigation. No +1 curse amulet/body needed to achieve more damage through mana reservation. Of course, you could also have enf/vuln on hit gloves in addition to blasphemy your one blasphemy aura and +1 curse ammy for ULTRA MEGA EXTREME endgame. Very awesome.

-Because we'll always have fortify up, this makes inc% fortify effect RAMPART cluster extra juicy on the tree. These nodes will prove extremely useful not only for good damage, but for survivability.

-I'm undecided on Brutal Fervour and Vaal Pact. Brutal Fervour used to be one of the main stars of the build, but with 5s leech duration it might not be reliable enough, and we now have IMPACT which is just one of the fucking craziest nodes I've ever seen in my life for Cyclone. However 20% Cull will always be one of the best nodes in the game, so you gotta have that. It all comes down to whether you want insane AOE from IMPACT or near immortality from Brutal Fervour/VP.

More to come shortly...
